Kerolin Nicoli: New Manchester City forward learned football on the streets of Brazil – now she wants to conquer WSL | Football News happymamay

Football in Kirulin DNA. I grew up in Brazil, the country with football in its national identity, almost difficult to escape. But often for female players, the path to professionalism is much lower.

Kirulin represents an exception to the base. Football that can accommodate the streets of Sao Paulo, and she plays barefoot with children, and is not uncommon – but from those early experiences, I felt sympathetic to be different.

“I really think that playing with children when I was young, brought me something.” Kirulin, now 25 years old, draws her Ginga (This is what is translated as an effect) as an essential matter for the player and the person you have become. Front with street skill, speed and strength, as well as amazing work ethics, making the Brazilian height more likely than most.

It embodies the “spirit of football”.

“I was playing on the street with the children without anything on my feet, no shoes. I don’t know how to say, but with my toes, and when you launch the ball, it hurts me.

“I thought to be more powerful, more powerful and fast, and protect the ball – these things that I came now from those moments with children on the street. I remember I am very young and I have to turn very quickly.”

Kirulin was convinced. It is even in hospital with osteoprititis – a form of bone inflammation – and inflammation of its legs at the age of 11 cannot bend it. Doctors advised to avoid contact with sports, but it continued.

The attacker exploded to the scene as a teenage talent in Ponti Britta, Sao Paulo, a very successful period of three years in the United States with the courage of North Carolina, which ends the last season with 14 goals in the goals in 24 games.

Brazil also won the award for the most valuable players – the first South America to win the award.

So why Manchester City? “I have a lot of reasons that I wanted to move to WSL.

“This will be the first Champions League, which makes me very excited, and the team in City is fine. I want to try to help in the best possible way. Today, play here.

“The way to play the city is similar to my team in the United States. I felt ready. The most arranged players always play here or in Spain, mostly here. To be in seeing the world in which I thought,” I may need it to be in the United Kingdom. “

Kirulin – who also had an interest from Arsenal in the January window – has high aspirations in the sky. “I want to try to become the best player in the world,” she said when signing on City in January.

And its style, forged in Brazil and sharpening it in the United States, is accurately identical to its new club. The football mark based on the city’s possession should mean that the transition is smooth.

“I knew the size of the club, but when I came like,” Wow, this is tremendous. “The dream became true, people, I made girls easy.

“I will give everything to my teammates, the fans will see a player working hard to do every part of the game – to defense, to attack. I will be happy if I score goals and enjoy girls, but also with appropriate responsibilities.

“It is crazy how fast things happen. The coach asks me to go to one of all the time.

The exact movement and the close control that captures the opposition defenders is the place where the kirulin flourishes. No. 14 played only 39 minutes of WSL, but he already caught his attention. She played in the second half of the FA Cup against Leicester at the end of the week, and scored its first goal in the club, while celebrating the gesture of “good meeting” towards the fans.

While there is fierce competition for a place in Gareth Taylor’s XI, given the massive Mary Fowler and the presence of the Bunny Shaw and VIV MIDEMA, all starting signs are positive.

“I was only here for two weeks, but I am happy because I do what I love.” The huge smile is definitely evidence of this.

The city may have revealed another jewel to score goals.
